FUEL-OIL BURNER AND STOVE.

Application filed April 10, 1924. Serial No. 705,576.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANKLIN SoHRoYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hutchinson, in the county of Reno and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a- Fuel-Oil Burner and Stove, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to fuel oil stoves and burners.

An object of the invention resides in providing a fuel oil stove having a base formed for receiving a suitable form of fuel oil supply reservoir, in one portion thereof, and a burner receiving stand adapted to form a cover therefor, and for supporting a fuel oil burner in position to receive a supply of fuel from said reservoir, in the central portion of the stove, so that the flame and heat thereof will be directed against the top of the stove, over said cover portion on the reservoir, and from which extends a suitable stove pipe, for exhausting the vapors of the burnt fuel.

Another object of the invention resides in providing a fuel oil stove, which may be used either as a heating or cook stove, wherein the base portion is provided with a partition wall, forming a central chamber, and an outer chamber adjacent the walls thereof, which is adapted to receive a fuel oil supply tank, the central partition being formed to receive a burner pan, which is adapted to support a burner, in the central portion of the base, and to extend to the upper outer edge thereof, for receiving and cooperating with the cover, in order to direct heat from the burner, directly against the top of the stove, which is formed with a curved portion in the central part thereof, for conducting the exhaust vapors upwardly into a stove pipe to be exhausted in any desired manner.

The invention comprehends other objects and improvements in the details of construction and arrangement of parts, which are more particularly pointed out in the following description and claim, directed to a preferred form of the invention, it being understood, however. that variations may be made. in the specific construction and arrangement of these parts, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as described and claimed,

In the drawings, forming a part of this application Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improved fuel oil burning stove, having a portion thereof broken away.

Figure 2 is a plan view thereof.

Figure 3 is a plan view of the stove, having the top removed, and portions of the burner supporting pan broken away.

Figure 4 is a vertical transverse sectional view, through the stove shown in Figure 1, the view being taken at. a right angle to Figure 4, and showing the oven in position.

Figure 5 is a side elevation of the stove showing an oven attachment therefor.

1 indicates the hollow bottom section of the stove formed in the front side with an opening 2 providing access to the central chamber 3,, which is formed by the parti tion wall'4, extending in spaced relation to the sides and rear ends of the base member 1 and terminating in the front wall thereof. The partition 4 is of substantially less height than the side and end walls of the base member as clearly indicated in Figure 4 of the drawings, and provides a chamber 5 around the sides and back end of the stove base member 1. which is adapted to receive a fuel oil supply tank 6. which is provided on the inner top side with an asbestos covering 7 for protecting the oil in the tank from undue heating by the radiated heat from the burner. The tank is provided with a suitable filler neck 8 extending through a slot 9 in the upper portion of the front wall. of the stove 8. The base member is provided at 10, with suitable legs supporting the same in spaced relation, gbove the floor or other supporting surace.

A burner pan indicated at 11 is of frustopyramidal form. and provided with a projecting rib 12 adapted to seat on the upper edge of the partition 4, for supporting the burner pan with the upper edge in contact with the inside upper edge portion of the base member 1, as clearly shown in Figure 4 of the drawings, so that the top of the stove indicated at 13 may have the flange extending downwardly from its edge and seated over the upper edge portion of the base member 1 of the stove, while the central portion of the cover or top 1 is provided with an arcuate raised portion 14,

provided in the central portion with the neck 15, for receiving the stove pipe 16, adapted to extend to a suitable outlet for the waste gaseous vapors from the burners.

The burner supporting pan is provided in the central bottom portion thereof with a horizontal portion 17, having a central opening to receive the inner upwardly extending end of the fuel supply pipe as indicated at 18, which pipe is provided with branches 19 connected with the pipe 18, the communication with which is controlled by valve 20, the ends of the pipe 19 being connected and communicating with the supply tank 6, for conveying fuel oil to the pipe 18, and controlled by the valve 20.

The burner 21 is positioned as indicated in Figure 4, so that the flames from the burning fuel will be directed outwardly, and will thoroughly heat the top of the stove 13.

If it is desired to use an oven with the stove, a housing member, indicated at 32, is formed with a seat 38, around the lower edge thereof, adapted for positioning on the edge portion of the cover 13, so that the same will cooperate therewith to form an oven, an opening being provided for receiving the stove pipe 16, in a manner clearly shown in Figure 5 of the drawing.

From the foregoing description, it will be seen that when the reservoir 6 is filled with oil, of any desired and suitable character, and the valve 20 opened, the same will flow to the burner, in any desired quantity, and will combine with air, taken in through the opening 2 in the base member 1 of the stove and the plurality of openings 35 formed in the burner supporting pan 11. It will be observed that the greater portion of the fuel oil in the tank 6 will flow to the burner by gravity, but if desired, air pressure or anyother suitable medium may be used for forcing the oil outwardly of the supply tank, and into the burner for continually supplying the same with a charge of oil until the supply tank is entirely exhausted.

From the foregoing description it will be clear that a simple and novel stove struc ture has been provided, including a base, a fuel oil burner supporting pan, and a top adapted for covering the pan and the base and housing the burner supported by said pan, in order that a maximum amount of heat may be made and utilized at a minimum expense.

What is claimed is:

A fuel oil burning stove comprising a base member having an upwardly projecting flange in the upper portion thereof in spaced relation to the side and rear walls adapted to provide a supply tank receiving face around the sides and rear Walls of said base member, a burner pan removably mounted in said base member and seated on the upper edge of said flange for support thereby, having a central burner supporting portion below the horizontal plane of the upper edge of said partition, and inclined edge walls terminating adjacent the upper edges of said base member, said edge wall being formed with air inlet openings, a top for said base member forming the top of the stove, having a stove pipe-receiving neck formed thereon, adapted to receive a stove pipe for conveying the discharged gases from the stove, a burnermounted in the central portion of said burner pan and having valve controlled communication with said fuelsupply tank. In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

FRANKLIN SCI-IROYER.
